As I was writing an unpublished article about Cargo Cults in software engineering, I have started to reflect on the rules I enforce on myself.
There is one I really see no point in breaking. Surprising, online, not a lot of people discuss it, but I suspect it's because it's sort of obvious for anyone with a bit of experience. It is about always having a finite size limit on queries or responses. I figured out it would be worth sharing as a blog article.
